15. Neither do men light a candle —or, lamp. and put it under a bushel —a dry measure. but on a candlestick —rather, "under the bushel, but on the lampstand." The article is inserted in both cases to express the familiarity of everyone with those household utensils. and it giveth light —shineth "unto all that are in the house." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
